Elizabeth & Matt’s Stunning Metropolis Ballroom Wedding

Dec 18

Elizabeth and Matt first met in high school where they both had study hall in the library at the same time. Elizabeth had an unrequited crush on Matt in high school; a few years later they bumped into each other at a concert and started catching up from there. They hung out a few times that Summer before Elizabeth went back to Kentucky for her Senior year of college. They made it “official” over Winter break that year and the rest is history!

When Elizabeth and Matt’s wedding day rolled around we were blessed with the most gorgeous Fall weather, Christy and Ryan and I were all so excited to capture this beautiful day! Elizabeth and her girls were all wearing the cutest cozy cardigans while they got ready together, we love the idea of having something cute AND practical to gift your bridesmaids that they can wear over and over again!

Elizabeth was understandably nervous at the beginning of her wedding day but sweetly said early on “I trust you” when we were doing her “getting ready” photos, which was just honestly the best thing a bride could say to us. Once Elizabeth was dressed and saw her Dad she became a bit less nervous and before long we were on our way to St. James in Arlington Heights for their traditional Catholic wedding ceremony.

Matt was fighting back tears as Elizabeth walked down the aisle, she looked radiant and once her Dad hugged her Matt didn’t take his eyes off his bride the entire day. Once they were pronounced husband and wife we had so much fun taking pictures of the newlyweds with their family and friends! We made our way to Busse Woods and found the prettiest pocket of yellow leaves and streaming sunshine. Elizabeth and her bridesmaids all looked gorgeous against the Fall colors, and Matt and his guys (including his identical twin!) looked great as well.

Once we finished with photos we made our way to The Metropolis Ballroom where we were greeting by a sign that said “Let’s Get this Party Started” which was just perfect given the reception that Elizabeth and Matt threw for their guests. Elizabeth and Matt are perfect together, and their wedding celebration reflected their love for one another in such a fun way. We were honored to be a part of this unforgettable day!!
